Upon inquiry we were told that he is a
Taoist priest, and the crime he COM
mitted was that about fortnight ago
he put on women's dress and went
into house where no one but newly
married young woman was left; he
boldly informed the woman that he
was her aunt. and had come purposely
to see her, and of course. the woman
believing this. nothing was left undone
for the comfort of her supposed aunt
during the day. Al night the young
woman offered her room and bed to her
aunt. So they were both in the room
talking. when suddenly the woman slls-
pected that some mystery existed.
Showing no excitement. she told her
aunt that she must 60 out and get her
clothing that had been left on the
tarrace. and that she would come back
shortly. As soon as she got out she
shut the door and went into the next
house and called for assistance, when

a Picture or the Lady Of Fashion.

Lady's World: The New York lady
of fashion commences the day much
like the Parisienne. only instead of
chocolate she has coffee and crackers
(biscuits)in bed. She does not take
much interest in the newspapers, but
langnidly turns over the piles of corre-
spondence of all descriptions which
await her perusal and selects the most
interesting. A picture of her at this
moment would be most charming-a
small. oval. spirituelle face, large,
luminous eyes and well-marked eye
brows. clear complexion, and intelligent,
mobile mouth. giving you at once the
idea that there is a being capable of
understanding most things and of TAX
ing her part in the worlds work. Her
hair. too-coiffnre la directoire-
hardly tossed or tumbled, and her
pretty pink silk night-wrapper are as
carefully considered by her as if she
were going to receive her friends in
that guise.
The American lady loves to have her
surroundings beautiful and she takes
great pride in wearing elegant UNDER
clothing of all descriptions. something
of pink, pale blue, or maize colored
silk trimmed with valenciennes or fine
torchon lace, and sometimes of the fin
est and softest linen, merely tucked AMI
gathered, but always elegant, and al
ways Of the newest design. In no city
Of the world is the subject of toilet
studied to such al extent as il New
York The American society lady, as
a rule, is not an early riser, and appears
at rather late breakfast in pretty
and deliberately trimmed morning
gown. This is more varied repast
than with us. one Of its chief constitu-
cnts in al seasons being fruit in pro-
fusion. She then prepares herself for
the promenade, or for an unwearied
round of shopping, spending as much
time and energy on the latter as if it
were the chief object of her life.
Up to about o'clock the upper parts
of Broadway and Fifth avenue are
crowded with elegantly-dressed ladies'.
A notable fact about these morning
costumes is that they are composed of
silk, satin. or velvet, or Il mixture
thereof, deliberately trimmed, and in
fact. equivalent to the afternoon cos

Zachary TaylOr's Granddaughter.

Washington Post: Those who can
travel far enough back into the past to
recall the career and Administration of
Gen. Zachary Taylor will remember
the beauty and attractions of his grand
daughter, Miss Betty Taylor, who, be-
fore her first marriage with Lieut..
K'ngsbury, of the army, was a noted
belle in New Orleans and Washington.
Death dissolved this marriage very soon
after the knot was tied, Lieut.. Kings
bury having been killed at the first bat
tie of Bull Run. A lucky investment
in Chicago and the favorable issue of q
lawsuit there have given to his
son, the only child of the marriage, a
handsome fortune. In the meantime
the widow, after a successful society
career in the different cities of the Union
married the one-armed hero, Gen. Gal
latin Lawrence, with whom, however,
she remained but few years, and then
disappeared with Mr.. Van der Nest,
Secretary of the Belgian Legion at
Washington. After II years seclusion
in small continental town, pending
the divorce proceedings on this side.
Mrs. Lawrence was married to Mr.. Van
der Nest and continued to reside abroad
until his death, which occurred about
two years since. A few years ago Gal
latin Lawrence also died, and the wife
of three husbands has now taken to her.
self a fourth in the person of an Eng
lish gentleman who wss an early friend
of Mr.. Van der Nest-a tolerably ro-
mantle career, and one that the old hero,
President Taylor, hardly anticipated
for his "darter," as he always called
her.

The idea pleased him, and he made out

soldiers was wonderful, but the address,
which was the famous one declaring
the war to be failure, was a wet
blanket. That address, by the way
was written by Col. Tom Key, sort of

has been large increase over the cor
responding quarter of the previous year
in the volume Of business aud hand.
some increase in the gross receipts from
the land line service, which was counter.
balanced by loss in revenues from the
cable service and by increased expenses,
indicating Il greater number Of messages
handled and an extensive reconstruction.
The outlay for extensions, wires and for
insulated wire with view of getting the
wires off the poles in New York and
Brooklyn, has been very large, and must
continue for a time to absorb large
amount of the net earnings. The com.
mittee recommend that no dividend be
declared. A resolution was passed that
with the consent of the stockholders the
stock of the company should be in.
creased by 81 200, goo to take up script

The Tr ebel,i- yiu.iu Concert.


A first.class concert to thin house;
that's the thing in nutshell. Perhaps
the people are not to blame; it was the
misfortune of Nine. Trebelli. Mr.. Musin
and Herr Steindorff to open in Los
Angeles at time when the patrons of
amusement had just exhausted them
selves in attending Edwin Beoth's four
brilliant nights Of dran1k We are sure
that at any other time they would have
drawn full house. Certainly their
fame as artists deserved it; and certainly
their efforts last night were worthy of
their fame. Nine Trebelli has rich,
full, resonant contralto voice. She de.
livers the most difficnlt passages with
an ease which shows her complete mas.
terry of her fine organ; and her singing
is accompanied with grace of presence
and an expression which harmonize ex.
quisitely with melodious notes. In the
"Brindlsi" from Borgia, she exhibited
great drama ltic power, and thrilled her
audience. The last number was that
charming serenade of Gounod-"Chan
tez, chantez. ma BELLE" and she sang
it with sweetness of voice and beauty
of expression that won plaudits from
every body. M. Musin is wonderful
violinist, and surpassed in the delicacy
of his execution any one we have had
here since Wilhelmj; and Herr Stein.
dorf is pianist whose mastery of the
keys is phenomenal. The whole concert
was of the highest artistic order, and

MARVELLOUS GOLDFIELDs.

covered I'm the Transvaal.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-Vice. Consul
Knight reports to the Department of
State concerning the Transvaal gold.
fields, that the wonderful Shelba Reef
has been eclipsed by another reef dis.
covered last summer. known as the
Thomas Reef. from which samples of
quartz weighing 1000 pounds. it is
claimed, yielded ,l4S ounces of gold.
These discoveries naturally gave an i'm.
petus to prospecting on large scale,
resulting in the discovery of marvelously
extensive and rich gold quartz veins.
The Vice.Consul Gays he believes that,
after making inquiries and obtaining the
best information to be had, that the
Transvaal fields, when fully developed,
will prove among the richest in the
world. Recent discoveries have natur.
ally given rise to no end of speculation
aud mining ventures, and great rush
of capitalists. miners and adventures
has set in for the field. Near Shelba Reef
the city Of Barberton has sprung up as
if by magic. numbering already 1000 to
5000 people, and they are rapidly in.
creasing. The report concludes by
cautioning persons without means not
to venture into the gold country unless
they be thoroughly practical miners, as
the conditions existing are very hard,
aud many will be doomed to bitter dis.
appointment.

1t seems that Wilmington was incorpor.

Wilmington can now incorporate regu-

been passed but has not yet been en-
rolled; it will reach the Governor
tomorrow. 1t is not exp xpected that the
Charter which passed the Assembly will
get through the Senate. Oakland SEN
ators are opposed to it, as many of its
provisions are considers to be of
doubtful value. The County Govern.
ment bill has not yet fiaally passed.
There is disagreement between the
Houses as to Its terms. Mr.. White
introduced an amendment largely reduc

reduction in the fees of Justices and

THE FIrTIErH CONGRESS.
An Early Session Expected to be
Called

WASHINGTON, March 0 The Demo
cratic members of Congress and others
who have access to the President and
have means Of knowing do not believe
that there is any possibility Of an extra
session Of Congress now. The present
impression, as gathered by the Star re-
porter from a conversation with mem.
bers of Congress, is that the Fiftieth
Congress will be called together in the
fall, perhaps in October. in order that
some important legislation before it may
be matured early. II 10 a well.known
fact that Congress scarcely ever does
any business until after the holiday re.
cess. In view of the fact that the ques.
tons of revenue and taxation, fortiica-
tions and others of great public interest
must receive attention at the next ses-
sion, it is thought that the President
will call the session to begin in the fall
and that it will run along into the regu-
lar session.
